CHAPTER XXXII
"Hmm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhu Jiancheng, how are they? Wang Xiaode asked. Wang Xiaode is very concerned about these Chinese who have immigrated to other worlds, after all, they are the top priority of Heavenly Court to re-establish in another world.
Regarding Wang Xiaode's concern for Zhu Jiancheng and others, some stewards are very puzzled. Although these people are all members of the lord's clan, they don't have any skills, they just eat, sleep, sleep and eat every day, and are locked up at home all day. Even the lord's people have to do something.
"My lord, their concubines are all pregnant, and it is estimated that their pregnancy period should be about 5 months" Regarding Wang Xiaode's concern for Zhu Jiancheng and others, Ah Xian and others know. After all, they also shoulder the task of inheriting the Chinese bloodline, but Zhu Jiancheng's concubines were pregnant at the same time, and according to the observations of them and the midwife, the pregnancy period was only 5 months.
In another world, a woman's pregnancy time is often one or two months longer than Earth time, just like the concubines of the three people in A County. But the concubines of Zhu Jiancheng and others are different, and they wonder if it is Wang Xiaode's ghost.
"Oh?! 5 months? Wang Xiaode didn't expect such a situation, Wang Xiaode knew about the situation of the three concubines in Axian, it seemed that it was because of the combined influence of his bloodline Lan Dan and the rules of the other world. I don't know if it's good or bad. Because generally speaking, children who are resting on the moon are smarter and healthier, and such a premature child is not a good thing on Earth. However, the Atlas may be different.
"Ah Xian, the three of you and Johnson will discuss first, I want to buy a batch of herbs. Especially ginseng and reishi. In addition, there are cinnamon, Chuanxiong, rehmannia root, Poria cocos, atractylodes, boiled licorice, astragalus, angelica, white peony and so on" Wang Xiaode came back this time to deal with territorial affairs is one thing, and finding some supplements for the villagers of Bazao is the direct reason for coming back. Therefore, it is necessary to set it up early.
"In addition, Old Jack, you called Zhu Jiancheng and a few people, I will see them later. Assign them to you to learn something, and you can't always be idle" This is actually Wang Xiaode's plan to train Zhu Jiancheng 7 people first, and when the time comes, let the Chinese completely replace the ruling power of the aborigines. Politics, foreign trade, military, and logistics must all be controlled by the Chinese people.
Even if Zhu Jiancheng and the others are not capable, they must be nailed in. Regarding the sentence that the ancestor said, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", Wang Xiaode is completely convinced, but he still feels that it is safer, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen in the future.
"By the way, Jack, what IOU did you just say? Is there any debt between me and the Dauphin? In Wang Xiaode's memory, it seems that he only has some debts with his father, and he has never written any IOU to Dove.
"Yes, sir, the IOU is here." Old Jack handed a hide IOU to the maid next to him and passed it to Wang Xiaode.
Wang Xiaode glanced at the note and chuckled, it turned out that it was only after Dauphin became a barony that he knew the difficulty of really managing a barony. I want to borrow some money from Wang Xiaode, a cheap brother-in-law. It was not so easy to take over the next city, although Baron Omaba had left behind a lot of food and people, and even civil officials. But he also had to repair the city, pacify the people and traders, especially reward his subordinates, and establish a set of political power. These require a lot of goods.
In addition to the larger nobles and chambers of commerce, the only thing that can bring these to Dovein in the short term is his cheap brother-in-law, and in Dove's eyes, his father took this brother-in-law for a lot of money. So in Dauphin's view, Wang Xiaode is a rich man, and he is also the kind of person who can only make friends and cannot fight local tyrants.
Because you beat the local tyrants, there is nothing left after the fields are divided, and those potions, sugar, and salt can only be made by Ronald himself. The white sugar purified from the sweet potatoes can be seen by his subordinates, and many problems can be seen. The quality is too poor compared to Wang Xiaode's own works.
But Dove knows his identity in front of Wang Xiaode, and his cheap brother-in-law is not his own father, so he can be cheeky and ask for things. If Wang Xiaode is provoked, he will not give anything, so Wang Xiaode has such an IOU in his hand, saying how much gold coins or other goods he will repay when and when he will repay.
"Okay, you can send him something, but I'll pay it back with food" The food of the other world may not be high, but it is absolutely nutritious and full of spiritual energy, so transporting these spiritual rice to the earth can improve the quality of many people's diet. And it's not too obtrusive.
"In addition, the sweet potato income you mentioned will sell the inferior dried sweet potatoes that are about to expire to the outside in the future. To store the good, we have to get used to stockpiling food. The same is true for other grains. I think even low-quality dried sweet potatoes will be rushed to buy "For the sales of low-quality dried sweet potatoes, Wang Xiaode is still assured, after all, it is a sugar product, the price will not be low, and it can still be used when purified, but the cost of the purification process is greater than before." Just make a little profit yourself. This is also in line with the usual colonial practice.
"James, those slaves must be well guarded, and if there is any restlessness, it will be dealt with immediately. We must explain our slavery system as soon as possible, and we must not let them become chaotic. The slave that Catherine just said I would dispose of myself, I'll go back and see it later. And our soldier training must not be relaxed, if anyone is lazy, send to the gladiatorial arena to practice with those female fighters, which female fighter wins. I have a heavy reward" The slavery system and the military system have always been in addition to the blood of immigrants, and Wang Xiaode cares about it the most.
Although Wang Xiaode is a monk and his strength will be stronger in the future, he does not think that he is a good fighter, and a gentleman does not sit in the court. Wang Xiaode is not willing to take the lead himself. And the creation of a solid army is essential. In the Heavenly Court, fighting has always been the job of professional heavenly soldiers and generals, not righteous gods such as the Jade Emperor.
As for the slaves, they are used to pass on the bloodline to Chinese men, and men generally have to have a skill to bring them in.
"Johnson, the affairs of the caravan cannot be sloppy, and the more loyal newcomers among them can gradually be brought to the territory to recognize the way. Let the soldiers in the territory take turns to go out and see. As for the development of trade routes, it is necessary to put stability first, in addition to helping the territory to make money, it is not possible to be sloppy in inquiring about all kinds of news," Wang Xiaode said to Johnson.
"Catherine, you send the children you think are suitable to them in Ah County, and arrange for them to train in the knightly domains entrusted to us to manage, and help the local governor's office to manage the territory. In the end, if the troublemakers in the gladiatorial arena are just making trouble in our territory, let the police deal with it and bring enough people to go. If you dare to make a big fuss, James is just practicing military training. Which baron is to blame, come directly to me" Wang Xiaode said to Catherine, then the police and James.
Now there are more and more lords who are happy in the gladiatorial arena every day, and it has become a local entertainment center, not only the knight lords under Donald's domain, but even the knight lords under other barons in the vicinity have people running to play, smoking and becoming addicted to big cigarettes.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xiaode was just a knight leader, and the barons were all official nobles who needed to take care of their status, maybe there would be barons to play now. Wang Xiaode is also a great profit from the gladiatorial arena, and now the gladiatorial arena is not only those female fighters, many lords have brought their own fighters, both men and women. There are endless ways to play.
Wang Xiaode also ordered the development of military strength from among these soldiers or freemen who participated in the competition, and recruited them. Or send the original soldiers in to train with those ordinary fighters. Although these soldiers usually train hard, their individual strength is not as good as these fighters, and they can't defeat these fighters without the help of the army's total tactics and numbers, but Wang Xiaode's army is also slowly changing people.
The goal is to change all soldiers to professionals. If all of them can be replaced by professionals, the strength of the territory will catch up with the barony.
When the time comes, with a little means, you can easily become a baron. Elsewhere, it might be difficult to become a baron, but if you have the money and you're in a clearing in the heath, it's much better.
This is the junction of the wasteland and the plain, if it were not for a large number of knights entering, this place would still be barren, and there are some powerful sand beasts and sand bandits in the depths of the desert. So there are no nobles here to rob it.
On the contrary, I am willing for you to reclaim for them first, and then come over and take advantage of it.
"If nothing else, go down," Wang Xiaode commanded, but when the crowd left, one of them stayed.
"Catherine, what's the matter with you?" Wang Xiaode stood up, touched Catherine's hair and asked.
"Sir, my father has sent news that this year's Earldom is celebrated, and the Earl may want to see you when he returns to the realm," Catherine said, taking Wang Xiaode's arm.
"Anything else?" Wang Xiaode asked.
"My brother Baron Dauphin sent someone more troublesome this time, not because of a slave, but because of a mage apprentice." Catherine continued.
"I've talked to your father about the mage's apprentice for a long time, what's the matter?" Wang Xiaode asked.
"Nothing else, just greedy and lustful, in addition to going into the kitchen to steal food, often sneaking to other residents' houses, female slave camps to steal women. You know, after all, the other party is a mage apprentice, and we can't say anything. Catherine sighed.
For this Mage Bolake apprentice, Wang Xiaode knew that the other party was greedy when he heard about it from the old baron, but he didn't expect it to be such gluttony.
It seems that he was still cheated by the baron. No wonder a mage apprentice would be willing to come to a knight's collar.
"Hehe, do you like to eat? Then let him eat enough. Tell the five bustards that they will personally bring someone to serve this mage apprentice, and they must make each other eat so much that they don't want to eat for the rest of their lives, and they don't dare to touch women for the rest of their lives. ”
